wow. just tested this on mkdir and as you say, only execute is required.
is this the same for libraries as well? I remember having to make sure
that read permissions needed to be set on HP-UX, and I assumed that this
extended to Linux because of the UNIX equivalence. Of course, this was a
while ago and things change.
My bad for not testing before posting.

I believe the read attribute is necessary to actually read and load a

That isn't true, at least for real binaries. Shell scripts is another matter.
